Everyone who knows the promoworx team know we love our cake, but sometimes we like to venture outside the box (as you do) and attack some yummy cookies! Especially when they are as delicious as these, white chocolate peppermint m&m cookies!
A great and quirky mix of sweet and mint, these cookies are sure to get you in the holiday mood, fill your tummy, or act as a great substitute to your cake craving. We’ve made a huge batch and are loving them next to our candy cane hot chocolate. If you want to test them out yourself the recipe is below, and we wouldn’t say no if you wanted to stop by the studio and share!!
WHITE CHOCOLATE PEPPERMINT M&M COOKIES
Yield: 2 1/2 dozen cookies
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 10-12 minutes
Cookies with White Chocolate Peppermint M&M’s, candy canes, and white chocolate chips. These cookies are festive and perfect for the holiday season!
INGREDIENTS:
3 cups all-purpose Gold Medal flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 cup white chocolate chips
1/2 cup crushed candy canes
1 cup White Chocolate Peppermint M&M’s
DIRECTIONS:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a large baking sheet with a Silpat baking mat or parchment paper and set aside.
2. Combine flour, salt and baking soda in a medium bowl and set aside.
3. Cream butter and sugars together in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment until combined. Add eggs and vanilla and beat until smooth. Slowly mix in the dry ingredients. Stir in the white chocolate chips, candy canes, and M&M’s.
4. Drop heaping tablespoonfuls of dough on prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until cookies are golden around the edges, but still soft in the center. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes. Transfer cookies to wire rack and cool completely.
Note-a few people commented that they made these cookies and they were too puffy and a little dry. You can try reducing the flour to 2 1/2 cups if you have this problem. I used 3 cups of flour though and they were just fine.
